    Besides fishing and hunting, if it is outside chances are I like it.

    House husband. LMAO. Seriously, I don't work anymore. 7 lower back operations forced me into early retirement. I was a glazer for almost 35 years. Glass, not donuts!

  1. Both. Some I fish and some will never see water.
  2. The Slammer IV’s are great reels and I believe they are worth the price difference. Especially if you are not good at maintenance. I have both the SpinFisher’s and the Slammer’s. That being said, I am probably a little over the top in maintenance. Any time any of my reels get dunked or dropped in the sand they get stripped and cleaned after. When I am fishing the beach I always bring a couple of extra bottles of water with me just to rinse them off when that happens. I use the SpinFisher’s primarily for gators down here in Florida. They are going on there 4th year of hauling in Gators up to 300lbs and are still running strong. That is a testament to their durability. As someone else stated, if you have the extra cash, go with the Slammer. Buy once, cry once. But you are not going to be disappointed with either. Learn how to service them and do it regularly and you won’t be burying them as often. Just my Two Cents Mike
  3. The line tie is wrong, but everything else says tattoo all the way. Whatever it is, it is a sweet plug.
  4. Agree completely!! Wicked nice!
  5. Thank you! And I just have to keep, reminding myself that adding alcohol will only make it worse.
  6. Good morning from sunny Florida everybody. Hope y’all are doing well. I just need to vent for a bit. Just got a lot of **** going on right now. I lost my sister a year and a half ago to cancer. I was holding her hand when she passed. She had an old will and a new will she had just made up. Her boyfriend lied straight to my face told me that the new will was signed. It was not. His lie cost me just a little under half $1 million. And more important than the money, my sister’s last wishes were not fulfilled. Counting my sister I’ve lost seven close family members in the last 18 months. My Mother’s Alzheimer got so bad that I had to put her in a home about six months ago.she had been living with us for four years. My dad in Connecticut has not been well. He’s been in and out of intensive care, but it finally looks like he is on his feet again. He actually came down to visit for 10 days a couple of weeks ago. We had a really fantastic time together. And my wife and I both had Covid for the second time after Christmas. I recovered but she did not. She is just a shell of the woman she was. She has no memory, she can’t breathe, Even walk to the bathroom exhausts her. The doctors are not very optimistic about any further recovery. And we lost half of our income. All the money stuff we can deal with it’s just stuff. But the strain of everything is starting to take it’s toll on me. Both my wife and I are recovering alcoholics. And I am a recovering addict as well. I celebrated seven years last November and my wife is going to celebrate 10 years on March 15. Occasionally the thought of a drink comes into my mind. And when it does, I just have to remember the hell that alcohol put me through. And ask for help. Either from God or from another recovery person. By the grace of God, and the help of many others, I have not picked up a drink or a drug and I do not intend to. But good intentions do not keep you sober. So I just needed to vent And get all this **** out of my head. One day at a time has taken on a whole new meaning. Digger thank you so much for posting every day! I woke up sober this morning and by the grace of God, I will go to bed sober this evening. Looking back I see that I have gotten just a little complacent and I need to get my head out of my ass, and do what I need to do to make sure that I stay sober! Thank everybody who has posted, no matter what the content, because even though I don’t say much here, I read it almost every day. Thank you for letting me vent. I hope I haven’t bored you to tears. Tight lines. mike
